Benefits of technology

The patent is about a container for housing computer servers that uses outside air to cool the servers. The container includes a cooling system that uses air conditioners to control the temperature. However, air conditioners consume a lot of power, and when the outside temperature is low, the container cannot efficiently use the outside air to cool the servers, wasting power. The technical effect of the patent is to improve the efficiency of cooling the containers by using a flow system with fans to cool the servers, and by controlling the air conditioner based on the inside temperature of the container. This reduces power consumption and improves the cooling effect.

Problems solved by technology

However, air conditioners usually consume high amounts of power.
When outside temperatures become lower, for example, in winter, the container cannot use outside temperatures efficiently to cool the computer servers, wasting power.

Embodiment Construction

[0011]FIGS. 1 and 2, show an exemplary container 10 used for housing electrical equipment, such as telecommunication components. In this exemplary embodiment, the container 10 includes a number of computer servers 20, a number of heat dissipating fins 30, a first group of fans 41, and a second group of fans 42.

[0012]The container 10 includes a hollow main body 11 with a top wall 12. Two frames 13 are symmetrically mounted in the main body 11. The computer servers 20 are arranged in the frames 13. The frames 13 divide the main body 11 to create a middle airflow channel 14 and two side airflow channels 15. Each computer server has conventional air vents (Not shown) that allow air to be drawn into and exit the computer server. Cold air from the middle airflow channel 14 allows cold airflow to be drawn into and pass through the computer server. Warm air is drawn into and passes through the computer server and exit through side airflow channels 15 to allow hot airflow to pass through. An...

Abstract

A container includes a main body, a number of computer servers, a number of heat dissipating fins, a first group of fans and a second group of fans. Two frames are symmetrically mounted in the main body. The frames divide the main body to a middle airflow channel and side airflow channels. The computer servers are positioned in the frames. The heat dissipating fins are positioned on the main body. A number of flow spaces are defined between the heat dissipating fins. A first group of fans are positioned in the middle airflow channel, and a second group of fans are positioned in the side airflow channels. The first group of fans draws the airflow into the middle airflow channel to pass through the computer servers, and the second group of fans draws the airflow passing through the computer servers to the heat dissipating fins.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]1. Technical Field[0002]The disclosure generally relates to cooling systems, particularly to a container including a cooling system which uses outside air to dissipate heat generated by computer servers in the container.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]To quickly establish a cloud operating system, a container is typically used to act as a room for the cloud operating system. When designing a container for containing multiple computer servers, an air conditioner is installed in the container for controlling the temperature to a desirable level to cool the computer servers.[0005]However, air conditioners usually consume high amounts of power. When outside temperatures become lower, for example, in winter, the container cannot use outside temperatures efficiently to cool the computer servers, wasting power.[0006]Therefore, there is room for improvement within the art.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS[0007]Many aspects of the embodiments can be better understood...
